Visual pictograms by Dave Bowker at Designing The News.
The idea is to establish a universal set of icons over time so
poeple who speak different languages can interpret, understand
and communicate.

Designing the News, Dave Bowker

"Tinkering" encapsulates how we learn.

It is especially relevant to the practice of being an apprentice. Learning by:

  • observing;
  • testing;
  • giving something a go in a safe environment;
  • ongoing practicing;
  • receiving and giving feedback in situ; and
  • mastering content, and processes, all within social/cultural practices.

The practice of being an apprentice is no longer understood as the poorer cousin to academic learning for example.

It is about learning to use digital technologies - not in a one or two day in-service but by "tinkering " having an open mind - knowing when to persist, who and wht to interact with, and when to fold.
